Tachycardia characteristics

VA during Tc

Short VA (<60 ms)

  • Typical slow-fast AVNRT

  • Junctional tachycardia

  • Atrial tachycardia

  • Ventricular tachycardia

​

Long VA (>60ms)

  • Atypical AVNRT

  • AVRT

  • Atrial tachycardia

  • Ventricular tachycardia

BBB during SVT

VA increase

  • consistent with ipsilateral BBB for orthodromic AVRT

​

No change in VA

  • Nothing ruled out

-could be ipsilateral pathway that is close to septum​

-could be contralateral pathway

-could be AVNRT

-could be ATc
